I am often asked if record sealing and expungement is something someone can do themselves. The correct answer is yes. The practical answer is, should you?

Unfortunately, no. We are a Florida law firm only as Attorney Nicolas Babinsky is only licensed in Florida. We do not accept seal and expunge cases and farm out the work to anyone else. We do all our own work unlike many online seal and expunge websites you see on internet who will take your case,, take your money, and farm out the work to another lawyer.
